Chapter 12, Part 1: The Eternal Conquest
"There may be, there may not be... but when the executioner's blade falls, no one will pity the weak. We cannot be the weak ones," Chen Liu said.
Emperor Yong, Chen Hetang, and others were relieved.
Chen Liu looked at Emperor Yong and said, "Your Majesty need not worry too much. Just do what you did before, and continue to do what you did before."
"The former Great Yong Dynasty is gone. Now we still have millions of people in the capital. Let's take good care of them, redivide the territories, and let them live and work in peace. Perhaps one day, these millions of people will pass on their legacy from generation to generation and restore the glory of the Great Yong Dynasty that once dominated the world."
Emperor Yong paused for a moment, then nodded slightly. He took a deep breath and looked at his son with a complex and profound gaze: "I know what to do."
How to settle the people and how to restore order are things that Chen Liu need not worry about or concern himself with.
After all, although the Great Yong Dynasty only had the royal city as its court, the core framework of the court was still there, the officials were still there, and there were even tens of thousands of troops and palace guards.
With the Martial Ancestor's son still able to intimidate everyone, if he can't handle these matters properly, then this Emperor Yong might as well just slit his own throat.
soon.
Emperor Yong left the palace and returned to continue handling state affairs.
The people who have been reunited need to be resettled as soon as possible and settled in the surrounding areas.
In addition, the problems of food and other issues are already very serious. The reclamation of fertile land and the planting of grain are urgent matters. Otherwise, if we rely solely on stored grain, it will be a question how many of the millions of people will be left, and people will inevitably starve to death.
After Emperor Yong left, Chen Liu looked at Chen Hetang, the clan leader and head of the royal family, and said, "The royal family should continue to search for treasures and resources outside and focus on cultivation, just like before. There is no need to worry about anything else."
"Okay." Chen Hetang nodded emphatically, and then left with his men.
However, before leaving, he glanced in the direction of the room where the young girl from out of town was being housed, and a trace of worry still lingered in the depths of his eyes.
The original world crumbled, and they merged into a new world, becoming outsiders...
Now, an indigenous person has even appeared...
This is outrageous.
He needs to go back and calm down, and reshape his worldview.
Standing behind Chen Liu, Lü Yunbing hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Chen Liu looked up slightly at her: "Worried about your family and the Four Directions Sword Sect?"
"Um."
Lu Yunbing looked worried. If it was really as she had just heard, wouldn't that mean she would never be able to see her family, master, or uncles again?
Chen Liu patted her hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, since we're all alright, your family and the people from the Four Directions Sword Sect should be fine too. They're just probably in other fragments, merging with the cultivation world to form other small worlds."
"If that girl can get in from outside, we'll definitely have a chance to get out in the future, and we'll have a chance to see them again."
He paused for a moment.
Chen Liu then said, "Bring that girl to see me after she wakes up."
"Yes, sir, Martial Ancestor," Lü Yunbing quickly replied.
Back in the room.
Chen Liu recalled his previous experience of going out and arriving at the ancient mountain that emerged from the ground. The closer he got to the mountain, the more he could feel an indescribable aura of divine power.
Deep in the wilderness, there have even been demonic beasts with cultivation levels comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
As Chen Liu approached, his powerful senses probed the mountain, but were blocked by a hazy, invisible barrier. The closer he got, the more it felt like sinking into a quagmire, with a terrifying force that seemed capable of crushing him.
He pondered to himself, "Is the mountain behind that barrier actually a mountain, or is it actually a passage leading to the cultivation world outside, and the mountain that is shown is not a mountain at all, but rather the appearance of the cultivation world outside the passage?"
Also, how did that little girl get here? How did she manage to break through that beast tide?
If she really is a native of the cultivation world, then what is her true identity?
What is the situation like in the cultivation world outside?
What happened to the other fragments of the world from before?
He wanted to understand all of this, otherwise this feeling of the unknown made him somewhat uneasy, especially when he thought of those terrifying figures he had once "glimpsed".
Perhaps because Chen Liu preached again, the reputation and prestige of the Martial Ancestor were once again solidified in the hearts of millions of people in the royal city.
Or perhaps it was after he passed down the Five Elements cultivation method that millions of people in the royal city began to study and cultivate, accepting his Taoist teachings.
That evening, Chen Liu felt that his faith power, which had been gradually decreasing, had recovered to about 10-20% of its previous level.
Although the quantity is small, he felt that if he accumulated it over the years, he should be able to break through to the second level of the Divine Forbidden Eyes and make some progress within one or two years.
"It's a pity. If the Great Yong Dynasty were still here, or even if everyone in the entire low-level martial arts world were here, I could rebuild their beliefs and perhaps shorten this time by ten or a hundred times." Chen Liu shook his head inwardly and continued his own enlightenment and cultivation.
With the proficiency panel at his side, he can accumulate proficiency as long as he cultivates. Once he has proficiency, he will not regress and will conquer forever.
Even without the Divine Forbidden Body and the Divine Forbidden Eyes, he was confident that he could cultivate to become an immortal in this new world of cultivation, and even one day become the only Immortal Ancestor in the world of cultivation!
Although the Divine Eye of Forbidden Power is very strong, Chen Liu does not believe it will be his fundamental strength.
Only one's own cultivation and strength are everything.
So he continued to practice, and every time he saw his proficiency improve, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
In the following days, due to the intimidating power of Chen Liu's Martial Ancestor's sermons, the restless hearts of the royal city's people, who had previously experienced a surge in strength due to their transformation into immortal cultivators, gradually calmed down. They obediently followed the court's orders and adhered to the former order and laws of the Dayong Dynasty, daring not to overstep their bounds.
The imperial palace and the surrounding area were rebuilt by the government, which called on the people to cut down the large trees that had grown wildly and taken up too much space.
The cracks caused by the expansion of the land were filled in, and the buildings surrounding the palace were rebuilt, allowing countless people to settle around the palace and live and thrive in the presence of the royal family.
Many ordinary people who never received rare fruits or treasures to help them transform their spiritual roots and become cultivators have gradually entered the path and awakened their spiritual roots after practicing the methods passed down by Chen Liu, and have sensed the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The imperial court even established a special agency, the Xuanxian Bureau, to manage the ever-increasing number of cultivators' identities, spiritual roots, and cultivation levels.
Incidentally, those among the common people who awaken spiritual roots of the highest quality are recruited into the Xuanxian Bureau for use by the imperial court.
